For the purposes of this review I will be concentrating fully on the single player campaign. I did have a quick peek at the DM tools but found them lacking for creating anything other than simple dungeon crawls or completely linear adventures.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I was this excited about any hardware. It may only be a gamepad, but the Steam Controller is so very different it’s refreshing.

Ever wanted to fly a high-speed interceptor in a big dogfight against a superior enemy force like in Battlestar Galactica? Well, it's possible thanks to Diaspora: Shattered Armistice! Let's go kill some toasters!

Alien: Isolation has officially been released for Linux, and continues our trend of great AAA games. I would recommend playing this from behind a pillow, with emergency pants nearby.

Freespace 2 is a space combat simulator game from way back in 1999, it may be old, but it has an official open source engine and you should really give it a run.

INK is a minimalist hardcore platformer where you paint levels as you play, by running and sliding along surfaces, and with the paint splatter of your many deaths.

Civilization: Beyond Earth is a sci fi-themed entry in the much-beloved and long-running Civilization series. It came out late last year to mixed reception and now has seen the release of its first expansion. I decided to check out Rising Tide to see if it managed to recapture some of that classic Civ magic.

After a pretty long hiatus related to my school work, I have finally returned to reclaim the GOL Cast throne. This time we'll be taking a look at Polychromatic, a recently released indie twin-stick shooter.

Crookz - The Big Heist is a game that came out of nowhere for me. I remember a live action trailer announcing the game a long time ago, then nothing until a free demo popped up a little over a week before the game's release. I wound up playing the demo and enjoyed it enough that I scooped up the full game.

I am so shocked with the performance of the Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 PRO Rev.2 that I decided to give it a small write up.

It’s still not all that often we get such big games, although it is increasing, so here’s a more detailed look at Company of Heroes 2 on Linux.

Airscape is a playful gravity platformer that feels like an essential buy to any fan of challenging platformers, and now has a Linux demo on Steam.

I took a look at Gryphon Knight Epic a good looking retro-inspired shoot ‘em up from Cyber Rhino Studios.

As a big fan of the old Syndicate, I’ve waited for this day for a long time. So, how is Satellite Reign on Linux?

In Between is a story-driven puzzle platformer with gravity rotation mechanics that has the makings of a new classic.

After a little miscommunication it turns out Celestian Tales: Old North did release as originally planned day-1 on Linux, and I managed to give it a go and write down some thoughts for you.

Feral Interactive sure do know their stuff with their porting, so it’s time we took a proper look at Shadow of Mordor on Linux.

So this game has been sitting on my todo list for a while. I delayed it due to bugs in the Early Access version and after that I had plenty of new material to cover. But I think it's time to go back and see where this ended up. Let's go blow up some planets!

Beyond Eyes is an exploration game a bit out of the ordinary. It was released on Steam for Linux earlier this week, and here's what I think of it.

Do you fancy things like revenge fantasies and silly physics games? If so, then Kill The Bad Guy might do for you. The game has you playing as the invisible hand of an organization trying to murderize people they find unsavory in various ways.
